When I first understood that I want to improve myself in computer graphics, I immediately tried to learn Vulkan API. I struggled so hard just rendering a triangle onto the screen. I tracked my progress in this Github repository. I have also taken notes(for last parts, I unfortunately started copy pasting the tutorial material) for each tutorial part that I’ve finished.
Since it was really hard for me, I thought that learning OpenGL and graphics programming fundamentals first is wiser to start learning Vulkan. So right now, I’m improving my skills in OpenGL and Graphics Programming in general. When I feel ready, I am going to dive into Vulkan once more and learn it. For now, I have finished;
- Window Surface
- Swap Chain
- Image Views
- Graphics Pipeline Intro
- Shader Modules
- Fixed Functions
- Render Passes
- Graphics Pipeline Conclusion
- Framebuffers
- Command Buffers
- Rendering and Presentation
- Swap Chain Recreation
- Vertex Input Description
- Vertex Buffer Creation
- Staging Buffer
- Index Buffer Creation
- Uniform Buffers Descriptor Layout and Buffer
- Uniform Buffers Descriptor Pool and Sets
- Texture Mapping Images
Since I tried to learn all these things at one in my free time(normally midnights), I even forgot what some of them were about. So I will definitely go over with everything when I return this realm.
